Thanks everyone again for feeding my ego monster 😂

You all look amazing! I love how we all have different styles (even if @ms.sss's is transparent 🤣)

No new pics from me today. I'm repeating my white pants and green top outfit from last week, cause I ❤️ it! (New city, different peeps, so it's all good!)

I'm sorry, but doesn't this phenomenon signal a "New Dress Day" shopping event? ;) hehe

Hey now, be nice to yourself. I’m not at goal, and everyone in here has been nothing but nice. I also certainly don’t look like a hippo, and still rock some cute outfits.

Other posters aren’t at goal and still look great! We don’t need to hide in the shadows or be ashamed of how we look, at any step. I refuse to, and find the sentiment that being a bit (or even a lot) from a specific weight means that you should hide or aren’t worthy of nice clothes disheartening and sad.

Bears unite! Love your body in all its stages ❤️ Or at least don’t say mean things about it ❤️

AGREE 💚

Okay, those pants are great. Brand?

sorry, missed this question...

it actually belongs/belonged to my daughter (she let me have it because its to "bright" for her, lol). If I remember correctly, it bought it for her from Walmart a couple years ago, so I doubt they still carry it.

(...and it's like a child size M/L...)

I need no excuse for "New Dress Day" 🤣 Honestly Prime Delivery Day & Amazon Lockers have made it way too easy for me to order what I really don't need and don't have to worry about it sitting on my porch when I'm out of town.

I also have weird personal work wardrobe rules. Dresses are reserved for customer meetings, or big important internal meetings. Pants are for working sessions. Of course there are all kinds of exceptions to my own rules 🤣

Everyone looks so nice!

I’m with @sillykitty on Amazon wardrobe. My entire outfit is from them including my shoes. Bonus, I got shorts that fit me! It was under $50.00 easily. This is me today in my usual clothes, I don’t get dressed up very often. I prefer casual for myself. Once a tomboy, always a tomboy.

I love the color Navy and decided to fully embrace that today.

Thanks for the encouraging words everyone.
Honestly I’ve been wearing the same clothes for the last couple of months and almost everything I have is really baggy and not at all what I would consider stylish or cute.
I’m so conservative by nature that I can’t bring myself to buy more than the bare necessities atm while I’m transitioning.
So what I have are Pilates outfits, work clothes (all about a size too large now) and that’s really it.
I figure I can make what I’m wearing stretch until fall clothes season starts— really only 6-8 weeks ahead and In the meantime, I’ll stay frumpy in my oversized stuff.
Besides..... I’ll hopefully be a size smaller by then 😁

Okay, so I decided to rummage through some clothes upstairs. pardon the mess, but I’ve got a whole room full of clothes that are in stages: too large, but it’s not the right season to try to sell to consignment store, clothes that the store wouldn’t take and are being processed out for giving to friends, family or goodwill store, clothes that I’ve had for ages in storage that are about to fit me.
Then I came across this pair of jeans I ordered off of eBay last month and when I got them they were a half size too tight.
Well I tried them on again and they (mostly) fit.
They’re really tight across the hips (one of my problem areas) but by this time next month they should be fairly comfy.

I wouldn’t say that they’re an outfit that makes me feel good today, but maybe by September 1st, I’ll be able to sit down in them and also be able to breathe. 🤣🤣🤣

You look great @Sheribear68. Wear the jeans around the house for an hour and they will feel comfortable. They look like they fit.

OMG! You look fabulous!!!! So great to see you!!! I think we might be twins! Our shapes are very similar!!! (And the pants fit you across your hips but may already be too big lower down around your knees. :) Next month they will be huge on you!!!)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
